DeLAY SAYS CLINTON WILL WIN IN '08

Tm DeLay, indicted former House Speaker turned blogger, says Hillary Clinton will win the White House in 2008 and Barack Obama will be her Vice President.

DeLay made the comments today at a meeting of right-wing boggers. DeLay said he believes Clinton will win because of what you might call a vast left-wing conspiracy.It's this liberal coalition, working in concert with the news media, that will propel Clinton to the White House in 2008, DeLay said. "Hillary will be the next president of the United States because they have built a coalition," he said. --Human Events

IOWAN'S TELL HIL TO CHILL

Clinton hosted a number of Iowa's top Democratic politicos today. The (NY) Daily News reports the advice they had for the Senator was to loosen up a bit.

"I don't know that you can win in the Iowa caucuses and be a control freak," said former Iowa Democratic Party Chairman Gordon Fischer. Fischer is a fan of Iowa Gov. Tom Vilsack, who is already in the White House race. -- NY Daily News.DODD GETTING READY TO DECIDE

Gun-to-his head right now Connecticut Sen. Chris Dodd said he would probably seek the Democratic nomination for president.

"If I had to make a decision in the next thirty seconds, I'd say, 'Let's go," Dodd told the Associated Press. Dodd said he'd spend the holidays having "a conversation with the mirror" and make a decision early in the new year.

KERRY HEADS TO IRAQ

Massachusetts Sen. John Kerry will be making his fourth trip to Iraq tomorrow. The Boston Globe reports Kerry will meet with politcal leaders and U.S. troops, but that the trip will be about business not politics.

But, Kerry does plan to make a point of meeting with a group of soldiers who chided the senator over his now-infamous joke by holding up a banner that read: "Halp us Jon Carry - we R stuck hear N Irak."

Quotable...

"She did not sit in on national security meetings. She did not have a security clearance. She did not attend meetings in the situation room. She conducted no negotiations. She did not manage any part of the national security bureaucracy."
